To our knowledge, there are only two known algorithms for constructing sparse and light spanners for general graphs. One of them is the greedy algorithm of Alth$\ddot{o}$fer et al. \cite{ADDJS93}, analyzed by Chandra et al. in SoCG'92. The…

Pairs of graded graphs, together with the Fomin property of graded graph duality, are rich combinatorial structures providing among other a framework for enumeration. The prototypical example is the one of the Young graded graph of integer…

The visual complexity of a graph drawing can be measured by the number of geometric objects used for the representation of its elements. In this paper, we study planar graph drawings where edges are represented by few segments. In such a…

A graph is rectilinear planar if it admits a planar orthogonal drawing without bends. While testing rectilinear planarity is NP-hard in general (Garg and Tamassia, 2001), it is a long-standing open problem to establish a tight upper bound…

For a fixed property (graph class) ${\Pi}$, given a graph G and an integer k, the ${\Pi}$-deletion problem consists in deciding if we can turn $G$ into a graph with the property ${\Pi}$ by deleting at most $k$ edges. The ${\Pi}$-deletion…

An $n$-vertex graph $G$ is weakly $F$-saturated if $G$ contains no copy of $F$ and there exists an ordering of all edges in $E(K_n) \setminus E(G)$ such that, when added one at a time, each edge creates a new copy of $F$. The minimum size…

We consider the following problem: for a given graph $G$ and two integers $k$ and $d$, can we apply a fixed graph operation at most $k$ times in order to reduce a given graph parameter $\pi$ by at least $d$? We show that this problem is…

The toughness of a graph $G$ is defined as the largest real number $t$ such that for any set $S\subseteq V(G)$ such that $G-S$ is disconnected, $S$ has at least $t$ times more elements than $G-S$ has components (unless $G$ is complete, in…

In a graph $G=(V,E)$ with no isolated vertex, a dominating set $D \subseteq V$, is called a semitotal dominating set if for every vertex $u \in D$ there is another vertex $v \in D$, such that distance between $u$ and $v$ is at most two in…

We consider the problem of devising algorithms to count exactly the number of independent sets of a graph G . We show that there is a polynomial time algorithm for this problem when G is restricted to the class of strongly orderable graphs,…

We give lower bounds on the communication complexity of graph problems in the multi-party blackboard model. In this model, the edges of an $n$-vertex input graph are partitioned among $k$ parties, who communicate solely by writing messages…

The Constraint Shortest Path (CSP) problem is as follows. An $n$-vertex graph is given, each edge/arc assigned two weights. Let us call them "cost" and "length" for definiteness. Finding a min-cost upper-bounded length path between a given…

We present an algorithm that on input of an $n$-vertex $m$-edge weighted graph $G$ and a value $k$, produces an {\em incremental sparsifier} $\hat{G}$ with $n-1 + m/k$ edges, such that the condition number of $G$ with $\hat{G}$ is bounded…

The goal of graph inference is to design algorithms for learning properties of a hidden graph using queries to an oracle that returns information about the graph. Graph reconstruction, verification, and property testing are all types of…

A graph is weakly $2$-colored if the nodes are labeled with colors black and white such that each black node is adjacent to at least one white node and vice versa. In this work we study the distributed computational complexity of weak…

In this paper we consider the problem of computing the $2$-vertex-connected components ($2$-vccs) of directed graphs. We present two new algorithms for solving this problem. The first algorithm runs in $O(mn^{2})$ time, the second in…

This paper presents a randomized algorithm for the problem of single-source shortest paths on directed graphs with real (both positive and negative) edge weights. Given an input graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, the algorithm completes…

We consider the following NP-hard problem: in a weighted graph, find a minimum cost set of vertices whose removal leaves a graph in which no two cycles share an edge. We obtain a constant-factor approximation algorithm, based on the…

Let $G=(V, E)$ be an undirected $n$-vertices $m$-edges graph with non-negative edge weights. In this paper, we present three new algorithms for constructing a $(2k-1)$-stretch distance oracle with $O(n^{1+\frac{1}{k}})$ space. The first…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be an undirected unweighted graph on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. We address the problem of sensitivity oracle for all-pairs mincuts in $G$ defined as follows. Build a compact data structure that, on receiving any pair of…
